Is anyone still got their stang on the road still? I put mine away on Nov 1 st every year but with the nice weather lately, I wish it was'nt put away some days.It probably helped that I hit exactly 30,000 miles as I backed it in the garage !! Can't wait till spring already. 31493150

Took mine out for a short drive on Saturday. Goes away when the first sand/salt truck hits the road. Might try to drive tit down to Franklin MA for Thanksgiving depending on the weather.

I still have mine out. Took it for short ride on Saturday.
Mine will be out for a few more weeks yet, regardless of the weather, because Rick and Pete will be doing a few things to it before it goes to sleep for the winter. When it does go into storage, visions of smoke shows will dance in its head.....

technically no....but it hasn't moved since 10/12 ( last manns ) and before that was the dyno day.

The front tire has gone flat....so before I put it away I need to drive it to make sure its not totally flat spotted....should get that done this week, just gotta find the time.

Well... since I drove mine back from Sherman's with its new top on Saturday, I can't say mine is put away. I guess it will be soon as I plan to start on the winter project(s).

3151I drove mine this past Sat to fill tank, then fuel Stay-bil, moved two trailers and put mine to bed for winter. Just pulled battery out today to keep on trickle charge.

Pretty much snoozing, but who knows, if the snow holds off, perhaps a ride this weekend...

LOL. I know how things change when little ones are around, really does change your life.Now that mine are growing up and getting older,13/16/and 22 years old, its easier (I think??) to hop in and take a cruise when you feel like it.

HA! Trust me, I wanted to....but you know how it goes. I am still learning as I go here with this whole kid thing :)

So every year i write myself a note of things "to do" in the spring time.......# 2 on the list is "Bring car to Jimmy for a detail". Trust me, this spring it will happen, don't you worry :)

You've got plenty of time, Ian. It inly took 6 or 7 years for the #2 on my list (get the top replaced) to finally get done only a couple of weeks ago. :D

Took a ride up to make Winni yesterday. Saw a few classic cars and a few other people with their tops down. So cruising season is still going strong!

It was almost 60 up there. If I recall it said 57 and that was on the north side of the house.
Just saw that the lake temp is at a 15+ yr high right now. Not good for ice conditions or algea.

I looked at the long range forecast over the weekend and decided not to start taking the car apart for winter projects just yet. Looks like I can drive it to the extended family Christmas this year! I haven't done that since 97 or 98.

With all of the warmer weather, it is very tempting to uncover it and take it out !!!!3162

Hmmmm.... I may just have to steal that nose and antlers from Jay's "Rudolph the Red Nosed Toaster" and get a picture of mine.

I know it would never happen but it would be cool if we could get a bunch us to go for a cruise on Christmas day if the weather stays like this.:eek:
